When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the perfect option. These equipment are capable of reaching elevated positions that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.



What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?

The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that can easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is located in the bucket.



Design

The various parts of the articulated boom allow it to travel in different directions. For instance, a boom lift can travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could easily reach over large obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
